In 2015, Bradley Wiggins smashed the UCI hour record by riding 54.526km (or about 34 miles) in 60 minutes. Wiggins was 35 years old at the time. This week, Robert Marchand also broke the hour record, albeit in the newly created 105+ category. That’s right, 105 plus. The Frenchman was born in 1911 and also holds the 100+ record at 26.927km.

This time around Marchand covered 22.547km (or about 14 miles), lapping the oval velodrome track 92 times. Afterward he claimed he could have done better but he missed the 10-minute warning sign. The best part of the whole story? His attitude about the whole event, which can be summarized by this statement: “I am not here to be champion. I am here to prove that at 105 years old you can still ride a bike.” Chapeau, Monsieur Marchand, chapeau.
